11/7/2018:
Sat with the puppies today and noticed a few things about each of them that I wanted to share here for you.

Teddy: This puppy comes in a small package, but he is the sweetest, most loving puppy with a gentle soul. This puppy would be an excellent candidate for PTSD or psychiatric service dog work. He is calm and gentle, but smart and confident. He is not afraid of anything, but isn't pushy or dramatic. He has a strong gentle confidence about him, but he is more introverted in nature. He will love his people more than strangers, but innately, he handles the unknown with grace and security and will likely handle all kinds of activities with confidence. I would recommend socialization training to keep up his confidence, only because his is so gentle and soft in nature, but currently, he is self-assured and willing to calmly explore without fear. This puppy is intuitive and takes the time to experience people on an intimate level. He looks directly in the eyes and wills the person to love and pet him. Great soul in this pup. Teddy is a silver wolf gray with light eyes and his ears will likely rise. He has a straight medium length coat with low undercoat that will be easy to manage.

Lift: This puppy was loose for three seconds, then he flailed his legs and arms and head back and forth. He tried to get his legs under the handler's hand. This puppy receives a score of 6 for this category.

Turn over: This puppy howled and cried out, but did not move his body. He also yawned several times. This puppy receives a score of 7 for this category. 

Basket: This puppy grunted constantly when in the basket. It is interesting to note that seemingly due to the calls of this tiny pup, the entire litter responded to him and moved to the edge of the whelping pen to cry back to him, as if reassuring or coming to his aid. Very remarkable response from the entire litter. This puppy receives a score of 6 for this category.

This puppy receives an overall score of 6.67 for this test.
